Ya. I just bought the newer version of the apple wireless keyboard today and I'm typing this with the keyboard. And yes, I have Windows 7 installed on my PC laptop. Everything works really well and the setup was easy. Make sure your computer is searching for a bluetooth device and turn on the keyboard. Windows will then search and install drivers for it. Once it's connected, it will even show that you're using an Apple keyboard. My only gripes are the Return (Enter) key is not wide/big enough for my liking and I have no idea how to use the FN keys because those do not work.Good luck Ya.

You can connect the Apple Wireless keyboard to a WIndows 7 PC and get all the functionality. Refer to http://www.iphso.com/wp/fun-tech/solved-using-the-bluetooth-apple-wireless-keyboard-on-windows-7-64-bit/ and http://uxsoft.cz/projects/applewirelesskeyboard/. Either one of those will help.

It works fine for me, using Windows 8, it's basically hardware only, I see no reason it wouldn't work with Windows 7.

Yes, the unit was purchased for my wife since she was having difficulty with the standard keyboard. She has a Dell unit, and is running Windows 7 on it. Everything works great on it.

So far I have been using the keyboard with my windows 7, ThinkPad(enhanced experience 2,0), Lenovo, intel core i3 -- I have no idea what it means. All I know is that I am using a PC laptop. Hope this can help a little. It is very comfortable to use a USB keyboard and a mouse.

There are several issues with getting this computer to correctly work with windows, or should I say you getting use to the keyboard. The keyboard is really awesome, but doesn't play well with Windows. - Delete key, even if you map it (using several mapping utilities such as sharp key) will not work in outlook. So deleting emails is really pain. Still trying to figure this one out. - Alt/Window -&gt; alt/Command, this mapping is easy or just get used to switched key combinations -- Fwd delete / backspace -- no page up/page down / insert

Hello. This keyboard is built with the Chrome OS in mind. It does not have the function keys associated with a Windows keyboard. The basic keys would probably work, but if you ever needed an F key or a Windows home key one would be out of luck. Hope this helps.

Gerry: I've got it installed on WINDOWS 7...but never use it. I'm using it on my WINDOWS XP (another computer) and it works just fine. I've had problems installing on "7"....and if that's the only thing you have.....good luck. I was just patient and kept at it after "7" was telling me to forgot it. But I did get a correct install.

Yes it is compatible with windows 7. I installed it twice. After the first install the keyboard failed and I returned it to Toshiba for repair. The first thing they did was reinstall windows 8, then fix the keyboard. So I has to reinstall windows 7. Therefore I cannot recommend this computer due to their stupid repair people.

I Googled it and people say it does. It worked with 7 for me. Keyboard drivers are pretty generic, so I believe you should have no problem.

Yes it works with windows 7. I have been using it on a PC with a 64 bit version of windows 7.

The key board is USB, not wireless, and I have used it with Windows 7 and 8. I did not notice any incompatibility using Windows 8 with the keyboard.

I would be surprised if it did not work with a Mac. I don't have a mac, and the keyboard does not use any hardware specific drivers, Windows reads it as a standard keyboard.

Yes it works with Windows 7. Here at work we are using it on a Windows 7 system and we have not had any issues with it running in Windows 7.

Yes it is. I have had no trouble with any version of windows with this keyboard. I have Windows 7, 64 bit at home and Vista at work. I love the way it types! Hope this helps.

Thanks Rando213. I have an iMac too, running Windows 7 through Bootcamp. I was just wondering if anyone in my situation was having trouble using this keyboard while running windows on their iMac, because I saw another comment where the person said she couldn't get the keyboard to work when Bootcamping Bill G's POS OS. Anyways, thanks for responding!

Works fine. Apparently, you can map the keyboard to make it more functional in a windows environment, but I have not gotten around to doing it. At any rate, I have been using it for several months with Windows 7 and love it.

I am currently trying to get this to work on Windows 8 with no success yet. It seems to randomly mess up my keyboard USB because my keyboard goes AWOL and I have to unplug it and plug it back in. I've tried downloading the most recent drivers from the website, but those still seem to not work.
